What types of opportunities are available for nurses, in any scope of practice, that gives them the chance to participate in the design and testing of this system?

Write an essay in which you analyze an information system for its effectiveness in improving patient care. Preparation Select an example of a current information system used in the delivery of patient care. Note: Ideally, select a system from your workplace to examine. If you are not currently working, select a system from an organization close to where you live. This technology should be used for data management designed to improve patient care. Familiarize yourself with the technology. Do some personal research to gain a deeper understanding about the technology. Visit the Web site of the company who markets the technology to familiarize with how the company positions the technology in the market. Read articles online and in the library related to your chosen system. Remember to take notes to keep track of what you discover. Examine the following aspects of the technology: How is the information system designed to contribute to safety and quality in the care of patients? What types of data are tracked, monitored, stored, and trended in the system? How well does it accomplish what it is designed to do in your chosen real-world setting? How is this information system used to support research? If it is not currently being used to support research, how could it be used in the future? How might the technology be enhanced so it better meets the needs of the professionals currently using the system? Compare what you learn with how your chosen technology is being used in the workplace. Think about your own workplace and consider speaking with other professionals who currently use the system. Directions Write an essay in which you discuss what you have learned about how your chosen information system is used in the delivery of patient care and how it contributes (or does not contribute) to improved patient care. Include the following categories: Describe your chosen information system and its intended role in improving patient care. Explain why you chose to examine this particular system. Capture in 1 or 2 sentences the main point of what you learned and your personal opinion of this system based on what you learned. Support your main point with subpoints that include examples and supporting evidence that address each of the six points listed above under the Preparation heading. Be sure to cite expert opinions and evidence where appropriate. Include a concluding statement. Offer ideas, concepts, or activities that nurses, in any scope of practice, might want to consider that could improve how they could use this system to improve patient care.

Actions and Behaviors of Effective Leadership

here are research evidence, arguments, and opinions that trait or characteristics might not necessarily guarantee that someone will become an effective leader. The basic argument is that leadership is not about what one possesses or has in terms of traits or characteristics. Rather, it is about what one does with what one has, in the form of actions taken or behaviors displayed, In addition, these actions or behaviors cannot be for personal or selfish reasons, but for the common good of followers or a larger group. Write a 3-4 page essay on what you think are actions or behaviors that are associated with effective leaders. Provide informed explanations, analyses, and evaluations for your answers. Again, do not commit plagiarism, cite your sources properly, and offer coherent arguments. If you have questions regarding this assignment, please post your questions in the Discussion Forum below. Completing this unit should take you approximately 5 hours.

If the traits or actions do not consistently guarantee effective leadership in all conditions, then what is a leader supposed to do?

If leadership style can be put along a continuum from the autocratic style on the one end and democratic on the other end, with infinite number of points in between, what do leaders decide about which style of leadership they are supposed to practice? If you are not already familiar with contingency or situational leadership, please read and understand Fiedlers contingency leadership and Hersey-Blanchards situational leadership. Here is your assignment (3-4 pages long): From your knowledge, understanding, and experience, evaluate situational or contingency leadership theories in the literature and course materials. What is your understanding about how situational leadership is supposed to work? If leaders are supposed to know under what conditions they should practice autocratic or democratic leadership, what are then the relevant conditions that need to be taken into consideration? Hersey and Blanchard say it is the maturity of the followers or workers. What are your views? What do you think are the other contextual variables that need to be taken into consideration?

Select two upper level leaders (not managers) from two different types of organizations to interview.

The two individuals you are asked to interview must have a high level of responsibility and supervision within their complex organizations. They must be leaders, not managers. You will be rewarded for your creativity in choosing your appropriate interviewees. The aim of these interviews is to allow you to learn about leadership practices and realties from people who are practicing them on day-to-day basis in real organizations. Do not interview a family member, relative, or close friend. For your two organizations, pick organizations that are reasonably large and complex in function. For example, one organization could be a for-profit business company (like L-3 Communications, American Airlines, JC Penney, a chain restaurant, or a local bank), while the second one could be a non-profit governmental, educational, or public organization (such as a city government, a local post office, a community college or university, YMCA, or the Red Cross). Do not select someone from your current organization or place of work. I would like for you to explore as many concepts and practices of leadership as possible in a variety of organizational settings. Please make early arrangements for times and places to conduct your personal interviews, face-to-face, not using any communications technology (like Skype, telephone, or email). Do it during the first two weeks of class. Please be courteous and considerate of your interviewees’ time. Be prepared to gather as much pertinent and meaningful information from them in one sitting. Assure them that what they tell you will be kept confidential. Ask for permission to write notes or audio tape your interviews to keep an audit trail. Use this Interview Questions (Word, PDF) Template. Once you have completed the two interviews, start writing your Leadership Interview paper. You are required to write one integrated paper (not two separate ones), analyzing the interview data and information you received from your two participants. Compare and contrast their views and practices simultaneously for each question. Engage at Bloom’s four highest level (application, analysis, evaluation, and creation). To be sure, I want you to do very little reporting, just enough for your readers to understand the context of your discussion. The major bulk of your paper should be your analysis of your interview data. Since nothing happens in a vacuum, make sure that you relate or connect the views or perspectives of your interviewees to the existing knowledge or literature base (consisting of textbooks and other curricular materials you used in previous classes in the program) about leadership, followership, organizational theory (how organizations work), and organizational behavior. Comments on the relevance and significance of the key points your interviewees have discussed with you, and new knowledge and insights you gained from them that have important applications or implications for any organization or leadership situation. Familiarize yourself with leadership theories and concepts, particularly Fiedler’s Contingency Leadership Theory and Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership Theory. You should use quotes where feasible and relate back to applicable concepts and theories from your readings and experience. Please provide both in-text citations and a complete reference page for all sources. All scholarly papers must have a bibliography. Faimilarize yourself with the APA style of referencing. The APA style is the most popular and also easiest to use. It is critical for your paper to be APA-compliant. Please also check my very short pet peeves list. All scholarly papers must be written in complete sentences (not point from), with proper introduction of new topics or ideas, transition between points and paragraphs, and coherence. You must have a list of references (bibliography) at the end of your paper. Remember that you are senior about ready to graduate with your degree. You must present a well-written scholarly and rigorous paper, with clear indications that you understand the concepts and practices of leadership and the ways to which they are connected to how organizations work (organizational theory). Academic scholarship is about presenting new ideas, not regurgitating old ones. Please use Microsoft Word, typed double spaced, with no more than 1″ border on all four sides. Write in complete sentences (not in point form) using regular indented paragraphs. Remember to number your pages and run your spell checker before you submit your paper. I am expecting between 10-12 pages for this paper, not counting the formal title page, reference pages, and appendices. You will get back detailed tracked feedback on your paper. Based on my previous encounters, almost all students in this course have to re-submit their papers at least once, in many cases more than once. You are allowed a maximum of three serious revision attempts. If you wait until the end of the term to submit your paper, you run the risk of getting a “F” grade since you will not have the time to rewrite. If you have been assigned a “B” grade on your paper, you will NOT be allowed to rewrite. Remember I have a large number of students in this class. If you are also signed up for Capstone II this term, it is even more critical for you to complete all assignments for this class early so that you can move on to Capstone II. Please be mindful about TAMUC’s academic misconduct policies. Copying from other students’ previous written assignment, not citing sources, submitted the same content from a previous course (recycling) to get credit for another, and representing other people’s work as your own are forms of serious academic misconduct. If you commit any of these acts, you will face a possible formal charge. In this course, there is no need for you to send me an email alert announcing that you have uploaded your Leadership Interview assignment to the “Paper Upload” link below. I will check this box frequently, read, and then grade your paper in chronological sequence based on date of paper submission. If you have questions regarding this assignment, please post your questions in the Discussion Forum below.
